Consumer Warning

File this under "You can't make this stuff up."

My son invited me to play the Wii Extreme Challenge game, which has some games related to arguably extreme sports street luge, base jumping, rock climbing, and so on. There's also Double-Dutch jump roping.

Yeah, that sounds pretty extreme I thought to myself, thinking I would humor him. My initial efforts were lacking, as my character was getting thoroughly trounced in the game. No problem... it's go time... here's where I put the two-foot vertical leap to into play.

A word to the wise - check your ceiling configuration prior to doing any jumping in the basement.

The boy was remarkably calm in the face of his bleeding father rolling on the floor, and offered helpful advice on how the staunch the bleeding and how to know if stiches are in order.
